Charlotte finished the half on a 9-0 run to lead 45-43 at halftime.

Personal Observations - 'Cats energy and defensive consistency is way up from last night's lost to Toronto.

Adrien and Hansbrough got into it a couple of times...

'Cats playing much better pick n' roll defense than they have of late but still fail to make the third or more rotation on defense...which IMO is the trademark of an inexperienced team.

Here's to hoping Charlotte continues to hustle and maybe sneak out of Indy with a win vs a hot Pacers squad.

Pacers - 69

'Cats - 65

'Cats end the quarter on a high going on a small run to erase an 8 point Indiana lead. The 'Cats have been doubling the pick n' roll for most of the third which I think has stalled Indiana's offense some. The 'Cats have also done well getting out on the break off made baskets.

LETS GO CATS!!!

Charlotte struggled to defend when David West had the ball in the high post or at the elbow due to his passing abilities.

Charlotte's ability to double the pick n' roll forced an adjustment by Indiana. Almost every pick n' roll was with D. West and he made the passes to beat the 'Cats.

That being said, Charlotte is improving...they just lack consistency on both ends and are in dire need of some post scoring.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
